If they won't pay $27/night for camping, what makes you think they'll pay for Photoshop?

Most of the budget is dedicated to the tri-tip steak dinner with sauted portobello mushrooms and chimmichuri sauce cooked on a Tembo tusk skottle, all the while washing it down with a craft IPA during the livestreaming on their vlog.
you forgot slow motion video of coffee being made....

dickheads and their coffee.

Economies of scale are funny.

14/2 Romex, 15' = $21.55 ($1.44/ft)
14/2 Romex, 25' = $30.00 ($1.20/ft)
14/2 Romex, 50' = $56.51 ($1.13/ft)
14/2 Romex, 100' = $84.58 ($0.85/ft)
14/2 Romex, 250' = $109.00 ($0.44/ft)
14/2 Romex, 1000' = $436.00 ($0.44/ft)

Yes, I'd prefer to have the capacity and the incremental cost is minimal. Of course, I also purchase spec grade outlets...
I'm inclined to agree for outlets, I'd happily pay the minimal cost to have 12ga/20A capability. When it's just a bunch of LED lights on a circuit however, running a bunch of 12/2 to satisfy a 2A demand seems excessive.

Wait till you see the gauges people use for their home theatre systems!

So if meat can be grown in a lab and was never a living organism, would a person who doesn’t eat animals for moral type reasons consider eating it?

They should. I can’t wait till vatmeat is ubiquitous and done from genetic samples. It’s lower carbon, way more ethical and you can have literally anything for dinner. Also replacement organs with zero rejection.

I was the only kid in my hometown's public library allowed to borrow up to 7 books at the time (the default borrowing policy was 3). I kinda devoured them back in the day.

Jules Verne, Emilio Salgari, Ray Bradbury, Stanislaw Lem, Ursula Leguin... So many awesome stories, all of them waiting for me to delve in their own little wonderlands...

These days it has been replaced witha copiuos home library for those volumes I still enjoy having in physical format, and Calibre/Kindle/epublibre.org for those I want to read.

My latest rabbit hole is Terry Pratchett.
I have probably read about fifteen of Pratchett's books and enjoy them.
